A burglar chose the night of Friday the 13th to break into a Sears department store at Macomb Mall where he stole cash from more than one dozen cash registers, according to Roseville police.

The thief was somehow able to enter the store on the south side of the building near Masonic Boulevard through a customer entry door around 11:54 p.m. Friday, Deputy Police Chief Don Glandon said in a news release.

Before leaving through the same door he came in, the intruder took a dark coat from a display as well as a duffel bag and a pry bar-type tool that he used to break open the cash registers, the release stated. He wore the coat and carried the bag out of the store on his way out.

From images captured on the store’s security camera, police said the burglar was a black male about 20 years of age, with close-cut hair. No vehicle was seen and it’s not known if other accomplices were involved.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Roseville police at 586-775-2100 or Detective Sgt. Kevin Witherspoon at 586-447-4492.
